PDF splitting is a process that divides a PDF document into multiple separate files while preserving the quality, formatting, and content of each page. This operation creates new documents that contain exact copies of the selected pages from the original file.
When you split a PDF, the tool analyzes the document structure, extracts the specified pages, and creates new PDF documents that maintain all original formatting, text, images, and metadata. The split operation is non-destructive - your original file remains unchanged.
Different splitting methods serve various purposes: single page splitting creates individual documents for each page, range splitting extracts specific page groups, and interval splitting creates documents with equal numbers of pages. Each method ensures that the resulting files are complete, valid PDF documents.
Not choosing the right split method
Consider your end goal - single pages for individual sharing, ranges for sections, or intervals for equal-sized documents
Splitting too many pages at once
Start with smaller splits to verify results before processing very large documents
Not organizing files after splitting
Use descriptive file names and consider using the ZIP download feature to keep files organized
Yes, PDF splitting is completely safe. All processing happens in your browser using JavaScript, so your files never leave your device or get uploaded to any server.
You can split into single pages (each page becomes its own PDF), by custom ranges (e.g., pages 1-3, 4-6), or every N pages (e.g., every 5 pages).
Use JSON format like [[1,3],[4,6]] to create documents with pages 1-3 and 4-6 respectively. Each range creates a separate PDF file.
Currently, password-protected PDFs cannot be split. You'll need to remove the password protection first using our PDF unlock tool.
There's no strict file size limit, but very large files may take longer to process. The tool can handle documents with many pages efficiently.
Each split PDF maintains the original quality and formatting of its pages. Bookmarks and metadata are preserved in the relevant split files.
